Thanks for the tag and amazing work/docs. How does this board do with klipper? more than capable enough? I was originally going to go with a manta m5p, but is that overkill?
This will be the first time I’ve ever done something like this. I want to use a klicky probe i have laying around and a sexbolt that I have too, which technically the kobra 2 max already has. I find their auto Z offset to be completely bologna and plan to do this: (link to YT video)
Until now it works just fine and imho it’s capable enough, yes.
It’s a 32bit board with 168MHz and has five independent stepper drivers, so you can either connect each z motor of your Max to it’s own stepper driver or connect them parallel to the same z driver like at the stock mobo.
Of course you can take pretty much whichever mobo you want (and I wanted to use a BTT board in the first place as well cuz of the rubber ducky haha), but I already had five MKS TMC2208 v2.0 drivers in my drawer, found this board at AliEx for 25€ and it’s also a bit smaller than the stock mobo and therefore I could fit it in the stock housing, so I went with this one.
Imho you should be able to use that plugin with the stock z-offset switch as well.
Klicky probe should/will work with the MKS mobo (or any other ‘generic’ mobo) as well then, yes.
If you end up doing any of these mods, please reach out to me directly (direct message here, email, whatever), cuz that would be worth being mentioned and shown at the infosites as well then…
